day-by-day itinerary5. dayTrieste / Italy / Trieste, a port located on the border between Italy and Slovenia, has been a crossroads since its inception, where the influences of the West, East, and North have met. The most significant chapter of its history was written from the 19th century until the end of World War I, when it was the most important port of Austria-Hungary. The character of the city is complemented by the proximity of several world-famous attractions, such as the famous Lipica Stud Farm or the vast Škocjan Caves.

The site houses the Temple of Zeus, once home to the giant Statue of Zeus, one of the ancient wonders of the world, and the Temple of the goddess Hera, where the Olympic flame is ceremoniously lit every four years. The adjacent museums and archaeological sites bring to life the rich history of the games and the cultural significance of this place.
